Grayse vs. Yes vs. No

Hey everyone! So yes, I know that most of you are going to tell me that Grayse is a horrible spelling of the name Grace. But the only reason we are considering it is because it was my husbands sisters name (spelled this way). She unfortunately passed away in an accident a few years back and we want to honor her. My in laws had a thing for weird spellings, their kids were Grayse, Lili, and Justyn(my dh). Thanks everyone, and no rude comments please:)

Emma in Western Australia

We have a boy named Tyler James and a girl named Gypsie Jade. Expecting our 3rd, which is a boy. I'm in love with the name Olly, but my partner thinks Gypsie and Olly are unique names and Tyler is not, so it won't feel right. So he wants an ordinary name. Please help with something unique but ordinary.

Baby Name Genie:

In the space between unique and ordinary is a special category of names I think of as "antiques." They are familiar and well-used names that are not widely in use these days. For your son, I give you Oscar Jude - a perfectly ordinary, unique name.
